I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Originally, there were very few people in the Uzumaki clan who knew this.

Compared to the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, which is a one-for-one exchange, the Vajra Sealing Technique is the signature skill of the Vortex Clan.

During the Warring States period, the strongest members of the Uzumaki clan were all chain monsters. They didn't use ninja tools to fight, but instead used chains. Once an opponent was stabbed, they were basically dead.

Even Yugito knew of the legendary Vajra Locket.

"So this is the Vajra Lock..." Yugito suddenly realized.

Although the sealing techniques of Kumogakure are not as good as those of Konoha, the fact that they were able to create a perfect Jinchuriki shows that their sealing techniques are still quite good. Whether a sealing technique is impressive or not, it shows that they have a certain level of expertise.

Actually, the sealing techniques of the five great villages are not bad, but Konoha's sealing techniques are so strong that the other four seem weak.

The moment Uchiha Shingen swung that chain at Yugito, he knew this guy was tough.

She kept resisting, but it felt like a tug-of-war. When you see that the opponent's arms are thicker than your own legs, you pretty much know the outcome.

Struggling is human nature.

You won't know how good you are at struggling until you're facing death.

In her fully transformed tailed beast state, she began to activate the corrosive effects of her chakra cloak.

The black snake let out a painful hiss.

Uchiha Shingen glanced at it and decisively canceled the summoning.

I reckon the next time it sees Manda, it'll start cursing.

The black snake disappeared back into the Dragon Cave amidst the smoke, and Uchiha Shingen suddenly lost his footing and began to fall.

Using the force of the fall, he pulled hard, dragging the chakra of the fallen chakra downwards.

Yu Muren was initially overjoyed, but then he realized something was wrong.

Reacting quickly, she adjusted her body to match the downward pull of Uchiha Shingen.

Otherwise, her tailed beast chakra cloak would probably be stripped off.

Ultimately, it was a mass of chakra attached to her, not the real Matatabi.

Upon landing, Uchiha Shingen was not disappointed to find that the opponent's chakra cloak had not been pulled down. He formed a hand seal with one hand, and several arms rushed out from all sides, covering the cloak with their outstretched arms.

At the same time, a giant ice serpent shot out from beneath his feet and bound him in exactly the same way the black serpent had moved.

Standing on the snake's head, he made eye contact with the other party.

The flame-like immortal patterns seemed to be truly burning, a reaction to the Immortal Mode being pushed to its limit.

Their eyes met, and their pupils revealed their full power.

The reason why Uchiha Shingen could only use the Armor and Kagutsuchi in Sage Mode is quite simple.

When he enters Sage Mode, with the amplification of Sage Mode, his Sharingan power can reach the basic value of Mangekyou Sharingan power, which he has learned from Uchiha Shisui in the past six months.

The Sharingan, a genjutsu, was pushed to its limit and began to challenge Yugito's will.

As Yugito struggled, the Cloud Ninja gathered around him.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Blood and Mist

From a distance, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki's condition was undeniably tragic.

A dense network of chakra chains bound her tightly, even though she had fully transformed into a tailed beast.

All around her, massive ice-sculpted hands burst from the ground, gripping her tightly. Under this double oppression, no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free.

The tailed beast form, which originally represented ultimate power, now appears to be the one being bullied.

Although the giant ice hand had easily killed over a hundred people, the nearby Cloud Ninja Army had spontaneously rallied to support their Jinchuriki.

Since its inception in Konohagakure, the Ninja Academy has become a common system for the five great nations after the First Shinobi World War. Under this system, a large number of civilian ninjas loyal to the five great ninja villages have been trained.

Today, civilian ninjas have become a major part of the ninja world, and no one can ignore their power.

Their loyalty to the ninja village is much purer than that of the ninja clans, and their spirit of sacrifice is unmatched. As the one-country-one-village system has developed to this day, collectivism is the belief of ordinary ninjas, the foundation of the ninja village, and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Heroes aren't only found in Konoha; these people share the same passion for their ninja villages.

Although there was no Jonin to command them, the four-person ninja squads quickly assembled and eventually turned into a flood of people, rushing towards Yugito's location.

The earth trembled as the Cloud Ninja charged.

Meanwhile, the mental standoff between Uchiha Shingen and Yukito continues.

With the help of Matatabi, Yugito repeatedly breaks free from the illusion, only to be pulled back into the illusion by Shingen Uchiha.

Uchiha Shingen was never good at genjutsu, and he did not expect to be able to use genjutsu to break Yugito's resistance, but the perfect cooperation between the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beast still exceeded his expectations.

How did Obito manage to control the Fourth Mizukage?

Such a thought inevitably arose in his mind.

Obito Uchiha wasn't exactly a master of genjutsu either.

You can tell from the pupil technique.

The Fourth Mizukage was also a perfect Jinchūriki, although he didn't reach Killer Bee's level.

Killer Bee, as the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, is perfect.

For four generations in one country and one village, only four people have been able to perfectly control the power of the Tailed Beasts, and Killer Bee is one of them.

The Fourth Mizukage was one of them.

Shingen Uchiha felt that Obito Uchiha had overlooked something very important.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, is not someone who can be easily controlled by the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

In particular, Obito Uchiha was originally not good at genjutsu, and his Mangekyou Sharingan was completely unrelated to genjutsu.

Shingen Uchiha felt that he and Obito Uchiha were evenly matched in their genjutsu skills, and Obito Uchiha wouldn't be much better than him.

However, Uchiha Shingen doesn't have much time to think about this right now.

In the mental tug-of-war with Yugito, he achieved his goal: the Adamantine Sealing Chains were taking effect. At the same time, the giant hands created by the Ice Release technique served as an excellent medium for him to cast another sealing technique he had learned from the Uzumaki clan.

If he were a member of the Uzumaki clan, Yugito would have already been sealed away by now, thanks to the clan's unique chakra.

The Uchiha clan's chakra isn't particularly outstanding in sealing techniques; they rely purely on skill and strength, not talent.

Just like the transcribing seal, normally speaking, that's a sealing technique that can only be used at the Mangekyou Sharingan stage.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shingen felt a tremor coming from the ground.

He turned his head and saw the Cloud Ninja who had gathered together.

At this point, it doesn't matter if we don't use illusion magic. It's only a matter of time before Yugito is sealed away. The power of the sealing technique has already begun to enter her body, and as long as it's not interrupted, there won't be any problems.

These Cloud Ninjas must not be allowed to get close.

“They’re all the same…” Uchiha Shingen said with admiration as he watched the approaching Cloud Ninja. “It’s a pity that we’re on different sides right now.”

If you look at the world with appreciative eyes, you will see its beauty.

vice versa.

Uchiha Shingen once viewed the world around him from the darkest perspective, and that feeling was unpleasant, as if he were living in a world of black and white photographs.

So, when circumstances allowed, he rediscovered his original aspirations and resumed his attitude of reverence and appreciation for all things.

Conflict is unavoidable, but we can look at it from a different perspective.

Those who risk their lives and fight with all their might deserve our respect.

He hates Kumogakure, but he doesn't like the Kumo ninjas. These low-ranking ninjas are just as "endearingly silly" as their counterparts in Konoha.

He formed a cross seal with his hands and created a shadow clone.

No more, no less, seven.

A shadow clone leaped to the ground, facing the onrushing army of Cloud Ninja, and formed hand seals to cast a spell.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

Fog rose, and the fog, milky white, rose from the shadow clone.

Milky white mist rose slowly, rolled forward, swirled and surged, rushing all around, leaving everything a vast expanse of white.

To the Cloud Ninja, the Two-Tails' figure was initially still vaguely visible, appearing quite majestic, but soon the fog thickened, and nothing could be seen anymore.

Even the people around me are vaguely remembered.

Feeling helpless, they began to slow their pace.

Uchiha Shingen's shadow clones, moving silently, entered the mist.

The killing began.

The silence was quickly broken by the roars of the Cloud Ninja who were attacked, and the cries of pain as they were pierced by sharp blades and bombarded by ninjutsu.

There was no sound from the shadow clones.

When the Silent Killing Technique is combined with the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans, its cruelty is amplified even further.

Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Boiling Release, Scorching Release, and Ice Release relentlessly claimed lives amidst the white mist.

The speed at which they killed people, whether it was their superhuman strength or their shuriken skills, was not much slower.

The power of the human heart is limitless, but the power of a person is finite.

These Cloud Ninjas were too low-ranking; their bloodshed was in vain, and they couldn't help Yugito in the slightest.

When the shadow clones began creating ice giants, the hastily assembled Cloud Ninja force collapsed.

They could no longer distinguish between enemies and allies, and they began to attempt a breakout.

But even the direction of their escape was deliberately guided by the shadow clones.

Finally, they escaped the range of the Mist Concealment Technique, but less than one in ten survived; the vast majority had actually died at the hands of their own people.

Looking at the fog that seemed to completely shroud the world ahead, they felt like crying but had no tears.

Suddenly, the fog changed.

It gradually faded, turning white, like a flowing transparent substance.
